Synopsis

The Cardiovascular System At a Glance combines the concise style of the 'At a Glance' series with a systemic approach in line with the new teaching programs now in place at most medical schools around the world. The text progresses from basic science to clinical application: a general introduction to the cardiovascular system is followed by anatomy and histology; blood and body fluids; biochemistry and excitation-contraction coupling; form and function; integration and regulation; pathology and therapeutics; and case studies. The five authors, from St Thomas' and Guy's (London) and John Hopkins (Baltimore), have between them more than 40 years' experience in teaching the cardiovascular system, and have all been instrumental in the move from subject- to system-based learning at their medical schools. This book will be of interest to medical students at all levels and to students of other health professions needing an introduction to the cardiovascular system.

Media Reviews
.. . this book is well worth more than a glance! Barts & the London Chronicle - 2000 This book is exactly what it says it is. Each topic is well illustrated with a simple but informative diagram. The text is clear and concise, but with more than enough detail. Case studies with useful questions (and answers) are also included. Good value for money. Sphincter, Liverpool Medical Students' Gazette .. .it does offer clinical students a thorough revision of really important topics essential for understanding the heart and circulation. The union of the basic facts with a clinical picture is maintained, and the book oozes suitability for students in the early years of the new undergraduate medical curriculum. Student BMJ This book assumes no prior knowledge and would be a very useful first year purchase...Basically I think that this is a very good book for the first three years, its usefulness for the fourth year cardiovascular block remains to be evaluated, but I'll find out within the next few weeks.
